Solar port
Son in law has a Jayco that was wondering if you can use the solar plug on the side of a TT to plug a battery maintainer in? They have the same type plug.

Coachmen is now installing a Furrion Solar Charging Port on many of their product lines which is wired directly to the battery. It's intended to be used with a small portable solar panel with a charge controller mounted directly to the panel. Rating is limited to ~ 10 amps.

A gimmick, and a decal that looks good on the lot and can be highlighted in the sales brochure.
A typically negative view RC :R - but for those interested in running a simple 100 watt portable panel with an on board charge controller this sidewall mounted connector makes it just that much easier. :) There's nothing "gimmicky" about it, as long as use is restricted to no more than a 10 amp charge then it works fine. Solar aficionados will of course scoff but the reality is many campers don't have much interest in investing a lot in solar but are intrigued by the ability to stuff a bit of power back into their trailer battery on days when the sun is flourishing so for them these on board solar connectors make it easy. :B
